3 most comfortable Air Jordan sneakers of all time

The Air Jordans are considered the most comfortable shoes ever made, and for good reason. The shoes revolutionized the sneakers industry with their innovative designs and cushioning technology.

Ever since the first pair of the eponymous shoes from Micheal Jordan hit the markets in 1984 in a daring black and red colorway, they have continued to sell out year in and year out. The first Air Jordans gathered a lot of hype due to the fact that Jordan broke dressing rules as he sported them on the basketball court.

The shoes are an embodiment of boldness and rebellious style, setting the stage for the birth of sneaker culture. The shoes incorporated the Air cushion technology that Nike had just developed at that time and wrapped it up in an eye-catching design that sneakerheads fawn over even to date.

Over 37 iterations of the iconic basketball shoes, including remakes of the OGs, have been released so far, and all of them have tweaked technologies to ensure maximum comfort. Below is a list of the most comfortable Air Jordans ever released.
